BeldenMini High-Res Component Cables Belden Electronics Division has introduced the Mini High-Res Component Video cables. The cables have precise 75ohm impedance and are return-loss tested to a minimum return-loss level of 20dB out to 3GHz. To lower the cables’ attenuation characteristics, Belden provides 25AWG (solid) bare copper conductors and an interlocked serve-over-foil shield design. The Mini High-Res cables are available in both non-Plenum and Plenum versions and are comprised of three, four, five, or six coaxes.www.belden.com

DigidesignReVibe Digidesign has begun shipping ReVibe, a new mono, stereo, and surround reverb plug-in designed for Pro Tools|HD Accel systems. The 96-kHz-capable ReVibe provides nine entirely new reverb algorithms combined with more than 200 room types/early reflections. The room modeling algorithms allow combinations of different room reflections and coloration. Interactive displays are used throughout the ReVibe plug-in, making easier it to visualize and edit reverb characteristics. www.digidesign.com

Hall Research TechnologiesSC-VGA-2 Hall Research Technologies (HRT) has introduced the SC-VGA-2, designed to help operators fix video installs. It can produce a user-specified resolution independent of the incoming video sync rates. For example, a user can set its output to 1280 x 1024 and regardless of the resolution of the laptops, PC, or HDTV inputs, it will seamlessly up or downconvert the signal. Features also include YPbPr to RGBHV bi-directional conversion and video mirroring for teleprompting and rear-projection setups.www.hallresearch.com

Ward-Beck Systems ALFA Ward-Beck has introduced the ALFA (Audio Leveller for Audiophiles), designed to maintain a target level at the ingest or play-out point of the program chain. ALFA is based on the DA305 Digital Audio Processing Amplifier of the Serialboxx family of cards. As a card-based system, it offers a cost-effective method of controlling the level of multiple digital audio signals. Signal processing takes place in the digital domain and no artifacts due to conversion are introduced. Ward-Beck offers up to eight AES channels of control in a 1RU frame and 20 channels of control in a 2RU frame. www.ward-beck.com
